| 1 | Men look at me like I'm a suspicious-looking trunk, and they're customs agents. |
| 2 | Every time I get in front of a camera, I think of it as an attractive man I am meeting for the first time. I find him demanding and aloof--so I must do all in my power to interest him. |
| 3 | Men spoil women in America. A woman needs to know that the man is her master. |
| # | Fact |
|---|
| 1 | Dirk Bogarde said that she was the only woman he had ever considered marrying. |
| 2 | Remained a close friend of Dirk Bogarde, her co-star in Song Without End (1960), and often visited him at his home in France. |
| 3 | In 1952 she got a two-week job modeling clothes in fashion shows aboard a French cruise ship. She shared a cabin with a 17-year-old dancer working in the chorus of the ship's "nightclub"--Brigitte Bardot. |
| 4 | On a certain Wednesday in 1956, she realized she was bored. Having never been to America, she flew there on Friday. She modeled in New York for a while, and one night at the Manhattan restaurant le Pavilion she met star John Wayne and agent/producer Charles K. Feldman. Feldman signed her to a contract (she later moved in with him) and sent her to California to learn English. She made her English-speaking debut as Princess Carolyne in Song Without End (1960). |
| 5 | Was riding in a carriage in Paris when a commercial photographer noticed her. She soon became a top fashion model for Maggy Rouff, Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy. |
| 6 | Her French bourgeois family wanted her to become a school teacher. When she balked at that, they suggested she work in a bank. |
| 7 | At 21 she met her spouse on the set of the 1949 film Rendez-vous de juillet (1949) (her first screen appearance) and married him the following year. The marriage lasted six months. |
| 8 | She was born in Saumur, France, the same small town on the Loire as one of her famous patrons from her modeling days, Coco Chanel. |
| 9 | Considered one of the great beauties of Europe. |
| 10 | She was a witness to the 1969 wedding of longtime friend Audrey Hepburn to Dr. Andrea Dotti in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she lived for many years until her death. |
| 11 | Had a two-year relationship with actor William Holden, who was married at the time. |
| 12 | Nickname to close friends was "Cap". |
| 13 | Born Germain Lefebvre, she took the stage name "Capucine" during her modeling days. The name--pronounced "Kap-oo-seen"--is French for the Nasturtium flower. |
| 14 | Died in Lausanne, Switzerland, after jumping from her eighth-story apartment. |
| 15 | When she committed suicide in March 1990 at the age of 62, her obituary in the New York Times stated that her only known survivors were her three cats. |
| 16 | She was a longtime friend of Audrey Hepburn, the two having met while modeling in Paris in the late 1940s. A manic-depressive, Capucine's life had on several occasions been saved by her friend (both women lived at the time in Switzerland) after repeated suicide attempts. |
| 17 | According to rumor, she was remembered in the wills of William Holden (to the tune of $50,000) and Peter Sellers as well as that of 20th Century-Fox studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck. |
